easter love in - trying to get all the brackets redone



she's fighting me all the way 
engine out and cases polished up as best I could
I discover that the dick that did the mudguard also made the sissy out too 
main bracket on and then welded the oil tank support to that
sissy brackets welded 
then cut and rewelded  
as it wasn't square 
the mudguard has now moved and bottom bracket now doesn't fit - well it does now - but not much room between the wheel and guard thanks to my friend the dick who cut the guard
Not a Good Friday
Saturday breakfast - first crab of the season
and cylinder heads off for vapour blast
 New Stainless 21"x 1.85 rim and spokes arrived for the front wheel
and a little light reading
